all of a sudden earlyer my car started to not go thru gears n im having to propper ram it into gear,it goes in every single gear when not running,but when switched on its solid to get in gear and grinds trying to do so,also i noticed that it was as if it was on biting point as if its wanting to set off on itself with clutch fully to the floor,ad a look underneath and theres sum oil coming from the back of the block and running down the engine,the oil looks pretty thick so dont know where its from as on the dipstick the oil looks fairly thin n clean,also the gear box clutch pedal and clutch were done around 200 miles ago,any ideas,im pissed off with it,(again)

difficult to tell but think its engine oil as its on the sump. other prob sounds like a clutch thing though

possibly

its just that it didnt seem like engine oil,more like gear olil/brake fluid?

Then maybe it's dripping onto the CV and flicking up, then dripping back down?
